Comment: The author is referring to social networking software, but I’m seeing the similar “It used to be cool, now it’s not” concept happening in elearning. It used to be cool to talk about elearning, collaboration, knowledge management, etc. Now that the majority are tuning in to it, the avant gard is deeming it as no longer cool. Some groups are busy renaming to drop the “elearning” tag. All it’ll do is confuse the newly interested groups.
